Shirley,
Actually, Las Vegas could be great fun. I was there for a wedding and stayed at the Venetian (spl??) and it was sort of like being in Venice, not quite. And then there is Paris, Paris or something like that and I think something related to New York, etc. But it seems more like an older age kind of spot. We took the grandaughters to Vancouver when they were quite a bit younger and that was a great trip. Little city stuff, little beach stuff, Alaska Indian/Inuit art museum stuff, etc. Great seafood, etc. Not sure the kiddos appreciate the
food aspect. Anyhow, coming over to your house for a grilled cheese sandwich probably works just as well.
